AN ODE TO HEALTH AND IGNORANCE

'What is it like to have a chronic illness? To have a disease which is very difficult to treat and to diagnose which isn't recognised in many quarters of the medical profession? Welcome to the world of Chronic Lyme Disease. A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.'

This is an excellent radio broadcast which can be found through the following link.

An Ode to Health and Ignorance was produced by Chris Chambers. It was originally broadcast in September 2006. The program was awarded a Bronze Medal in the category Health/Medicine at the 2007 New York Festivals.

It is interesting to hear so many stories of people who suffered so many of the symptoms I had, Fatigue, ME/CFS, Arthritis, Muscle weakness, facial tingling, muscle twitching, swallowing problems and other neurological symptoms infact a soup of symptoms varying over time but eventualy attributed to Lyme disease.
